The separation of work from knowledge was operationalized by the separation of training from education. The former was intended to transfer the skills of labour and the secrets of craftsmanship to the younger generation of the toiling poor, so as to enable them to produce value from the sweat of their labour. The latter was intended to pass on the abstracted generalisations of social practice as gems of knowledge to the younger generations of the propertied class, so as to enable them to wield power through a monopoly of such knowledge and appropriate the surpluses generated by the labour of the former. The essentially integrated task of transferring the accumulated social experience of mankind to the younger generation was thus fractured. The continuum of the primitive stage was transformed into the dichotomy of class societies. The world of the master craftsman and his disciples was a world apart from the protected cloisters wherein the wise debated on the number of angels that could comfortably sit on the point of a needle. This tradition of separating work from knowledge and work from power has been the basis for the exclusion of the toilers from the domain of knowledge, by denying education to them, and from the domain of power, by closing its door to the uneducated. Viewed thus, education may be considered to be the most potent instrument of inequalisation in history. This distortion was partially corrected in the developed countries of the west under the impact of the industrial revolution. With the qualitative transformation of technology, it was no longer possible for the skilled craftsman to participate in production without transcending the boundaries of training and moving into the work of education. The blacksmith was to be rooted in the science of metallurgy and the tanner in chemical technology. The hitherto unsurmountable wall between training and education had to be breached in the new situation. It became possible to do so in the traditionally virgin ethos of the lands across the Atlantic, wherever the tanner and the historian, the blacksmith and the physicist, the tiller and the poet were put together in the wilderness of the wildest to fashion their common destiny.
